As part of his one-week intensive Christian Ethics course, Dr. David Williams is opening up a class with guest lecturer Dr. Simon Sheh to anyone in church leadership.

We are all painfully aware of the personal, relational and ministry losses suffered because of moral failure. Public scandals involving Christian leaders have become all too familiar in our sexualized culture. Dr. Sheh’s session will equip church leaders to offer healing, to develop safeguards, and to be personally strengthened and encouraged.

This afternoon session will be invaluable for anyone in church leadership. You are welcome to attend and bring others from your leadership, whether or not you are a Taylor student. You do not need to pre-register, and there is no cost to attend.

Dr. Simon Sheh is an experienced Registered Psychologist, author, and popular conference, seminar, and retreat speaker based in Edmonton. He specializes in the treatment of sexual and pornography addiction, Recovery from extra-marital affairs, relationship and marital therapy, and Christian counselling. Numerous churches and denominations have welcomed him to address their leaders on this topic. Dr. Sheh holds a doctoral degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta.

“...concise but highly effective. I want every man I counsel, to work through Pure at Heart."Kirk Durston, Director, New Scholars Society, Campus Crusade for Christ, Wallenstein, ON

“In too many Christian books about sexual purity, (our) sexual wiring is too often demonized and vilified. Dr. Sheh, on the other hand, brings balance to this important topic. Along with that balance, he also brings some new strategies for dealing with sexual purity that is both psycho-logically and scripturally sound. I have no doubt that this material will make a significant impact..."Geof Cornelson, Director of Clergy Care, Focus on the Family, British Columbia
